Colts Sign Polian to Extension

21 minutes ago

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts have signed president Bill Polian to a contract extension through 2011.

The Polian-led Colts have posted a 105-55 regular-season record over the past 10 seasons, reached the playoffs eight times and won the Super Bowl after the 2006 season.

Team owner Jim Irsay confirmed through a spokeswoman Wednesday that the extension has been finalized.

The 65-year-old Polian was hired in 1998 to oversee all on-field operations.

His draft choices include quarterback Peyton Manning, running backs Edgerrin James and Joseph Addai, receiver Reggie Wayne, and defensive stars Dwight Freeney and Bob Sanders.

Polian also had success previously while running the Buffalo Bills, with his teams reaching the Super Bowl three times.

Great news for all you Colt fans!! Maybe not-so-good news for the rest of us. LOL Seems like Buffalo has lost a number of good GM's over the years. We got Butler and AJ Smith from them too. They really seem to know how to draft the good players. Congrats.

Greatest GM in any sport, nit just the NFL. If it wosn't for him we'd have dusty Ryan Leaf jersey's in our closet and Peyton would be wearing lightning bolts...
